Earlier today, a violent clash between doctors and lawyers has intensified as a rally attended by hundreds of lawyers stormed Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) in Lahore.

Six patients have so far died after the protest turned violent.

The tensed situation at the hospital spread fear among the patients when lawyers started attacking the PIC assets after raising slogans in different wards and some people entered into the operation theaters which led to the stoppage of the scheduled surgeries of cardiac patients.

The dispute left four people injured when the lawyers broke windows of the emergency ward and several vehicles parked nearby.

A group of doctors and lawyers started pelting stones at each other in which four people sustained wounds.

Police at first exchanged harsh words to clear out the dispute.
